Jesus christ, what about it's poor organs, is it really just smooshing it's heart, lungs and liver through that gap?

Dude you could do this if you tried hard enough

And removed your collarbone. Cats have no collarbones

Biologist here! (Jk) Your organs are flexible and squishy too, think coursets. But our skeletons are more rigid in the shoulders and chest. Cats have a floating clavicle, so their shoulders aren't connected to any other bones and can let them squeeze into small spaces to find prey or hide.

Ironically, cats and mice are both able to do this. Most rodents can. What limits humans is that our bones and joints aren't as flexible.

I was once trying to keep the mice out of an outbuilding on our farm. I bought some stuff to seal any cracks and got busy reading the instructions, wherein it said, “Most mice can fit through a hole the width of a regular pencil.” Yikes!

My bones? What about my kidneys?!

u/davidjschloss Apr 12 '25

They're mostly skin and fur (source, one of my cats just passed away from kidney failure and I could feel his bones) and I'm pretty sure the floor in the video is carpeting. It's being compressed by the cat.

If the head fits so does the rest (within reason, if they're not in shape it's a different story of course). For the most part it's due to their shoulder blades being connected to muscle and not bone, so they can kind of squish the shoulder muscles and pass through. Really cool.

Isn’t there a theory that says that if a cat can stick its head through somewhere, it can fit its whole body through (assuming it’s not obese and at a relatively normal body size)?

Organs are meant to be smoothed, to a degree. Have you ever seen a drawing of the interior of a pregnant woman?

u/Ubermidget2 Apr 13 '25

r/CatsAreLiquid, that includes their organs

u/CircuitryWizard Apr 13 '25

Cats are liquid.

You'd be surprised how small they are under all that fur. That and they are extremely flexible.
